Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina 2008

A night out in the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome and a meal at Da Lucia brought on this white wine.

EXPERIENCE
A sweet fragrant nose, and sweet first taste. The wine becomes more dry as is opens. Good darkness in flavor and slightly bitter on the tongue. Medium body and a lingering dark finish.

VERDICT
GOOD AND CHEAP - A classic fanlanghina at a great price. We paid €15, which converts to right around $19... a google search for US prices shows similar results. Though the Savannah "Sogno Due" is still our favorite falanghina, this one is well worth a drink and comes in a few bucks cheaper.

FACTS
Feudi di San Gregorio is a prolific wine maker in Campania with many great offerings. This DOC wine is made from 100% falanghina grapes. Visit their super-slick website for more information.
